hammerhead johnson Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:16 AM) 3rd and 1....run the damn ball...i dont care if you have cutler QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:09 AM) Is that you John Shoop? And by run the ball, do you mean up the middle? But running the ball is our identity, yo! Never mind that a short, underneath pass to a TE in that situation is an extremely high percentage play. We GOTTA run the ball in that situation or else it just ain't Bears football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Texans linebacker gets flagged for roughing the passer by tackling farve as he's throwing the ball. Seriously, just give them flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) I think picking Cassel one round after Rodgers was an epic fail. Well the reason why I did that is because usually QB's will give you the most points on a given night, especially in ESPN fantasy leagues. His fantasy weight was more than the next available player, and I can play two QB's at the same time. I got Edwards as insurance just in case Cassel was done, and Culpepper as a 3rd stringer if needed. Culpepper may put up big numbers with Calvin Johnson IMHO, but if Stafford becomes the starter or if someone's on the scrapheap, I'll drop Culpepper in a minute.

nitetrain8601 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) Stafford's probably starting. They're still battling it out. Last I heard, Culpepper had an even chance. QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) Tim Hightower's gonna be a sleeper back this year. Agreed. I think he'll be great this year, but I expect a dropoff towards the end of the year when Beanie Wells should get more reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hightower is terrible. I'd take my chances on Wells before him. Hell, with the way James ran in the playoffs last year, I'd rather take him than Hightower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wow you guys way underrate Tim Hightower. He will get a lot of TD's this year. My only concern with him is if Beanie ever gets fully healthy this year, he will be starting probably around Week 12. Other than that, he will be a nice RB.

There is ZERO chance that Favre did that with the intentions of hurting Wilson. I don't think he purposely intended to hurt him, but he did mean to throw a chopblock, which always has a high chance of hurting a player. That's why that type of block is illegal. So don't tell me he's innocent. If you throw a chopblock, you know the territory that goes with it. It's the preseason! There's no need for doing something illegal that could hurt another player. If it were a regular season game, I could understand it more b/c he's doing anything it takes to win. But this game didn't matter, so why go low on a guy on his blindside?

In the middle of the play going through his head was prolly not "Im gonna chop block this guy" Im not saying hes innocent, just saying that he didn't mean to hurt him and he prolly wasn't intent on doing a chop block. Its just the nature of the type of block hes use to adding in the fact he was split out like a WR. Either way, im not arguing that it wasn't wrong he was just put in a bad situation.
